Introducing More Challenging Postures

Inversions are a key therapeutic posture of Hatha Yoga. They can be scary for some and contraindicated for others. Twisting postures aid digestion and keep the spine supple but approached without awareness of correct alignment can be harmful to those with disc degeneration and other spinal issues. Seated forward folds can be extremely challenging for those with exceedingly tight hamstrings. This series will allow you to safely explore important postures of Hatha Yoga.
